Automobilista 2 Force Feedback - Overview & Recommendations

thanks guys for the custom files,they are great even on my G27.

 

With standard settings in TM software?

 

Just a simple question, do i need to close the game completely for changing the custom file or just getting out the race/practice ?
or something else ?
thanks

 

This thread isn't just about settings, it's about the FFB in general. The info here can work for any wheel, including the discussion on tweaking the custom FFB file. People posting are using everything from DFGTs up to the latest DD wheels. There's no bias, though some tweaks might work better for some wheels than others.

I'm making a personal T300 profile incorporating much of what the guys have been discussing above. I can post it once I'm happy with it, if you like?

There is no clear description here of what each line does, but there is plenty of info elsewhere on the tinterwebs. PCars 2 FFB tweaking threads are a good source to work out what things do. I've also attached an example FFB file containing descriptions of the major features.

Yes. You need to completely restart the game to see any changes you make in the FFB file, not matter how small. Pain in the rear!

 

Yeah pls, is it the one attached?

 

No, that's just a file which helps explain some of the tweakable FFB options. I'll upload the actual file a bit later. I'll tag you in the post.

 

This may be a stupid question so I will apologize in advance ... sorry .
Having been a regular Project cars 2 user I came across an excellent ffb file on the forum over there , it really did make a huge difference for me on my lowly G920 .
Was wondering if that file might be compatible with AMS2 considering the same basic foundation they share ?
Cheers .

 

Ok thanks , will give it a go .
Is there is a specific file that's regarded as being better for the lower end wheels ?

 

I tried Karsten's last file on my G29 and it works pretty well. I turned down the road scale slightly as the track felt like it had been 'maintained' by my local council, but there is a nice feeling over rumble strips and overall it felt good to drive and worthy of being a keeper for now.

 

Tested the latest Beta yesterday. FFB feels more tamed with lesser road detail. I have to admit, that i feel less connected with the new FFB. I also had to increase FFB gain a little bit.

My FFB-settings on my DD2: Gain=65, LFB=0, FX=15

I tried FX=0 first, but had to raise it a little bit for more feelable road texture.

PS: All my tests to flatspot a tire were negative. Braking hard with a standing tire for about 50 meters. The tire should be square after this. But no effect and no shaking suspension at all.

 

Ok thanks John , will take a look at that one

 

FX at 0 means you are going to miss out on a lot more than just a bit of road feel. Tyre scrub (what little of it there is) is also tied to that slider. To see this for yourself, try one of the recent modified files in the thread, as they add much more obvious scrubbing.

 

Is this compared to early access?
How did you arrive at LFB 0 ? On my DD1 that basically eliminates all ffb in the center. And FX 15 is too low to feel anything else other than the ffb pull and road ondulations (except for center with lfb 0).

 

Also LFB at 0 sounds weird.

How does it feel when you set fx 50 & lfb 50?

 

Pretty sure LFB has a bug. If you set LFB to 0 it actually filters out the whole of the low freq. At least from FX output. It you set it to 1 you get the expected amount of low freq effects with more gain the higher the LFB. There is a massive step change between 0 and 1, very odd.

 

Yes, except 'spring' in zero. Though I think spring doesn't do anything in AMS2 but I always set it to zero anyways.

 

This Force feedback is insane!
Thrustmaster T300 RS GT base.
Ferrari F599xx wheel


Thrustmaster software 100%
gain 95%
Low fx 70%
Fx 70%

Couple this with my transducers it just feels amazing!
i feel the sidewall/tireflex.
When i slam on brakes.
sliding off the track or on grass the wheel stutters as the tires slide.
Tire scrub.
Undualations is perfect with my ingame wheel.
Can finally feel the curbs!

Holy grail of force feedback here boiz .

Damnit now i have to try this out as i did like LEXX engine vribrations. hmm i liked the other one more.

 

Why is LFB at 0 weird? I rather prefer linear FFB with my DD wheel. But if LFB=0 is buggy (as NuScorpii mentioned) then i'll try out higher values.

And i'll try out your custom FFB file. Thanks in advance.

 

because in ams2 lfb isnt what you are used to, same for FX, min force in the custom file is the classic boost I believe.
